Brother Day survives an assassination attempt and negotiates a marriage with Queen Sareth.

The Empire calls in General Bel Riose to look into the Foundation, and the trader Hober Mallow joins the game. The Invictus destroys Terminus, but the Vault saves its people. In the end, Day dies in a trap set by Mallow, who dies alongside Riose. Demerzel kills Brother Dusk, Salvor dies protecting Gaal, and Gaal and Hari go into cryosleep to wait for the Mule.
